FreedomWorks Foundation: Clean Power Plan, an Example of the Festering Problem of the Administrative State

FreedomWorks Foundation applauds President Trump and EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt on their announcement to repeal the Clean Power Plan (CPP). It is our organization’s intention to staunchly support this effort through our Regulatory Action Center, driving a grassroots campaign in support of this critical regulatory reform. FreedomWorks Foundation President Adam Brandon made the following statement:

“The Clean Power Plan is perhaps the most aggressive example ever of the festering problem of the ‘administrative state’ in Washington. Unelected bureaucrats unilaterally imposed a massive restructuring of the energy sector, effectively an astronomical energy tax hike, with little or no economic, legal, or even environmental justification. It’s no wonder why 27 states and 205 members of Congress argued the CPP is illegal.

“Killing the CPP will be a crowning achievement for the Trump administration in its efforts to drain the swamp of this expensive and expansive executive fiat. We look forward to helping our millions of activists across the country express their support directly to EPA through our Regulatory Action Center.”

The Regulatory Action Center at FreedomWorks Foundation is dedicated to educating Americans about the impact of government regulation on economic prosperity and individual liberty. FreedomWorks Foundation is committed to lowering the barrier between millions of FreedomWorks citizen activists and the rule-making process of government bureaus to which they are entitled to contribute.

A coalition of conservative leaders on Wednesday released essential principles that must guide any potential path forward for Congress to repeal Obamacare. The group agreed on a set of principles that Congress must adopt in any health care legislation considered later this year or in the future.

On behalf of our activist community, I urge you to contact your senators and ask them to vote NO on the Restoring Internet Freedom Order CRA Resolution of Disapproval, S.J.Res. 52. This resolution would provide for congressional disapproval of the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) Restoring Internet Freedom Order, which repealed burdensome Title II Internet regulations.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently waived Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) requirement for Andeavor, one of the nation’s largest oil refineries. Andeavor’s exemption tolls a death knell for the RFS and its crony backers.

Responding to reports that Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke is set to meet with North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper this weekend, FreedomWorks Vice President of Advocacy Noah Wall urged Governor Cooper to listen to several other elected officials in North Carolina who support the recent proposal by the Department of Interior to expand the nation’s offshore oil and gas exploration plan:
